Demo on new ParticleMen video?

[1] it sounds like Flans singing to me. does it deserve a song page?--Nosaj56 09:18, 9 September 2011 (EDT)

I would have no idea whether it merits a page or not, or what to title it if a page was made because I can't understand all of the lyrics. (Sounds mostly like "How fast is the speed of light" and "I was drunk".) I asked Flans about it on twitter and he said it's kind of a sketch of a new song, so I guess it qualifies as a demo of something. -J-Gatz

According to the TMBG newsletter that just showed up in my inbox, it's called "Read a Book." --Self Called Nowhere 18:49, 9 September 2011 (EDT)

Past Shows

I remember being fortunate to see you guys at Infest in Highriver Calgary, Alberta, Canada, in 1993, sorry to age you and myself! The show was amazing but I was the annoying broad that kept asking you to play Minimum Wage, as true gentlemen you played it for me twice and that was great. Other great bands at that festival were, The Ramones, Violent Femmes, Bad Brains! It was something I will never forget hope to see you guys again love all the new stuff and activities!

Hate to be the one to break this to you, but this is for talking to other wiki users, not The Johns. While they do know about and appreciate the wiki, I've gotten the impression that they use it mainly for things like checking setlists and wouldn't be paying attention to comments like this. I'd suggest using Twitter or Tumblr--Flans often responds to fans there. --Self Called Nowhere 18:08, 16 September 2011 (EDT)

Feature Request: Direct link to song performance page from Show pages

I don't really know how to describe it without going into a little detail, so let me explain. I was looking on a Show page (specifically this one and I wanted to see how many times that song has been performed. However, to do this, you currently have to go to that song's page and then click on the "x known performances" link from there. I feel like it would be easier to have a little link in the setlist next to each song that could take you to the performances page.

Is this something that would be possible to do? Or even worth doing? -WhatIsThatThing 19:00, 16 September 2011 (EDT)

It would be cool if clicking the bullet next to a song's name sent you there. It would require some template surgery and possibly stylesheet stuff depending on how you did it, and I'm not sure if others would care enough about it. It would be neat though... though I wouldn't like it if there was clutter in that thin column just for the purpose of saving a click. ~ magbatz 19:44, 16 September 2011 (EDT)

recent news

it looks like something's up with the main page in deciduous. specifically, the "recent news" image: it's not centred. here's a nifty screenshot: (nifty). it's happening in both safari and firefox.- Apollo (colloquia!) 17:22, 19 September 2011 (EDT)

Thanks...I found the culprit and fixed it. (FYI - it was also happening in Yuletide.) --Duke33 18:41, 19 September 2011 (EDT)

Exciting news from Flans

"We are working on a rarities comp of the listenable stuff left off Join Us." !!!!!!!!!! --Self Called Nowhere 04:51, 22 September 2011 (EDT)

I'm an idiot, but didn't he say this would be released as a podcast? --༺𝄞𝄆Ⓠⓤⓔⓛ⎈Ⓓⓞⓜⓜⓐⓖⓔ𝄇༻ 05:42, 22 September 2011 (EDT)

He said it in response to someone asking about rarities being posted as a podcast, but I don't think he would describe a podcast as a "comp." I'm taking it to mean a physical CD. (Though hearing that stuff even digitally would be exciting.) --Self Called Nowhere 06:17, 22 September 2011 (EDT)

maybe the compilation will be released November 1st. that's when he said we would be able to buy the version of Cloisonné used in the video. --Nosaj56 07:45, 22 September 2011 (EDT)

Live album

For what it's worth, Flansburgh mentioned at the Louisville, KY that a live album will be available in six weeks. -thevince September 22 2011
